I had been juggling a bunch of ideas for blog posts and took a walk in the yard to let one of them land.
It snowed yesterday. Colorado has been in a drought, but the scant two inches here in Niwot created a lovely, snowy scene. I thought you might enjoy it too.
Last night, I took a photography class through Mike’s Camera. How would you grade this shot? I probably should have taken more than two pictures. LOL!
Do you enjoy taking photos? Do you prefer portraits or landscapes? Would you like to see more quick photo posts here on the Wild Ride?

I love landscapes! I nominated you for a Travel Photo Challenge, a great opportunity for you to share your photos. https://darlenefoster.wordpress.com/2021/01/21/travel-challenge-day-7/

Thanks, John.
I saw that on radar. When I first saw all the gifs of Californians running for cover, I thought it was great fun. Then that massive mudslide struck Montecito! It can be scary out there.
I hope it comes our way….

It’s a very nice photo, Susie! Sharp and has nice colors, shadows, and little critter tracks too. 🥰

I love landscapes, but also interesting street photography. When I’m out – which at the moment is our daily local exercise – I take pix of anything different I can find.

That is so great! I need to experiment more often. That reminds me. Roxy would love to take a walk even in the snow.
Since phones take such great pictures, I’ve become quite the shutterbug. LOL!

A beautifully composed shot, Susie! Great job! I also took some photography classes a couple of years ago, thought I’d get more into it in retirement, but now find myself quite taken with the violin (but I do still take the occasional photo). Keep up the good work!

The pond is in my backyard, so I’ve taken many pictures over the years. Here’s a shot taken last summer – https://susielindau.com/2020/06/25/a-view-from-the-top/

I really love this shot. Did you shoot this same scene with the statue in the far ground in sharp focus and the branches in the foreground blurred? I love it when the depth of field of the lens is more shallow than what you’re shooting, so you create a pretty bokeh.

Thanks, Susan! The other photo was pretty flat. I took them with my iPhone. 😎

Wow! After reading a few comments I saw you used portrait mode. Very nice! That mode creates a more shallow depth of field which makes for a more interesting photo. My new phone (Samsung Galaxy A71) has the multi camera mode, which I need to explore.

You should pick a thene, add a title for your blog, and start writing! There’s a question mark on your stats page where you can ask the Happiness Engineers for help. Good Luck to you!
By the way, if anything glitchy happens, you can edit the post after you post.
